Arne Slot has confirmed that Mohamed Salah will travel for Africa Cup of Nations on December 15.
He spoke openly about Salah being left out of the starting lineup in the club’s latest match: a 2-0 away win against West Ham United on Sunday, November 30 — a game in which Salah was an unused substitute. Slot acknowledged that it was “a fair assumption” that Salah would feel disappointed not to play, but stressed that the forward “was very supportive of his teammates … handled himself really well” and remains “a top professional.”
Looking ahead to Liverpool’s next match this mid-week — the Premier League game at home to Sunderland A.F.C. — Slot said the club must “find a way to play without” Salah once he departs.
With the December 15 deadline confirmed, Salah is expected to remain available for Liverpool’s final domestic game before his trip to AFCON: the home fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion on December 13.
